Simple wrappers around ssh commands.

+
+Calls ssh in batch mode. Throws a fatal error if data occurs on the command's
+STDERR. Returns any data from the command's STDOUT.
+
+If using the hashref-style of passing arguments, possible keys are:
+
+ user (optional)
+ host (requried)
+ command (required)
+ args (optional, arrayref)
+ stdin_string (optional) - written to the command's STDIN

+=head1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do you supply a password to connect with ssh within a perl script
using the Net::SSH module?
A: You don't. Use RSA or DSA keys. See the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.
-=head1 AUTHOR
+Q: My script is "leaking" ssh processes.
+
+A: See L<perlfaq8/"How do I avoid zombies on a Unix system">, L<IPC::Open2>,
+L<IPC::Open3> and L<perlfunc/waitpid>.
